It has almost been three weeks since we (me and two colleagues) came back from a wonderful trip to Sofia. Thanks to Mikamai (and I will never stop to be thankful for this! 🤗) we had the opportunity to attend the 2016 Euruko conference.

Considering the list of speakers, all well known for their accomplishments in and out the Ruby community, I was overexcited by the time we had the confirmation of our trip.
Personally I was particularly thrilled to listen to the two keynotes. It doesn’t happen everyday to listen to Matz and José live! 😉
Anyway, enough fangirling!

It’s a modular system that let you create a rich e-commerce platform by supporting a vast number of different features. These features are implemented via modules that hooks right into the core of PS.

There are a lot of modules, free and not, and the community is pretty active. Some of them are released together with PS and are directly developed by the PS group.

However some of them are limited (e.g. Cash On Delivery) and so…developers to the rescue!

There are a lot of custom modules posted in the PS dedicated forum section but actually you can also directly fork PS from GitHub, develop your changes to the core modules, and then ask a pull request.

Here’s an example of the over mentioned Cash On Delivery module enriched with the possibility to add a custom fee.I’ve added this feature too and published the modified version of the module on GitHub. Actually I didn’t fork the entire PS repo but I’ve just created one with only my module.
